The Warzone/The Drive: 'Marillyn Lockheed' Tells President Trump The F-35 'Absolutely' Is Invisible
Yet again, Lockheed Martin's CEO Marillyn Hewson told the president exactly what he wanted to hear and that's not a good thing.
Yet again, President Donald Trump has offered evidence that he may think Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is literally invisible. What’s worse, the firm’s top executive, Marillyn Hewson, agreed with his remarks and made no attempt to correct him at a time when her company finds itself in increasingly acrimonious negotiations with the U.S. military over the stealth fighter’s costs.
The comments came after Trump signed a presidential memo on March 22, 2018, calling for tariffs and other trade measures against China, which could impact up to $60 billion worth of goods that country exports to the United States each year. Before, during, and since the 2016 presidential election, Trump has repeatedly criticized Chinese trade practices and theft of private intellectual property, which experts believe includes industrial espionage and scooping up data on sensitive military technology. Hewson was on hand for the signing and press conference afterwards, which prompted the president to introduce her – as “Marillyn Lockheed,” with particularly heavy stress on Lockheed – and make the comments about the F-35.

WNU Editor: For those who think President Trump is a "moron" .... they are convinced that the President believes that the F-35 can actually become "invisible". For those who think otherwise .... believe he is referring to its stealth abilities. It all comes down to one's political beliefs. Now calling Lockheed Martin's CEO Marillyn Hewson "Marillyn Lockheed" .... I found that to be hilarious, because she certainly has brought a lot of business to Lockheed Martin.
